This morning we surprised her with the "M" necklace that is hanging around her neck. Just a small "Surprise" gift for the first day of school letting her know how proud we are and how great this year is going to be. We've done this every school year and plan on doing it every year to come.

Pinterest has several creative first day of school ideas I found. Check them out....

I haven't used this Wilton's Cupcake stand since Jaxson's Baby Shower HERE. It has been sitting in my livingroom closet taking up space. I decide to get rid of it, but then it clicked that it could be some adorable wall art.

Your cupcake stand has legs on the bottom. You need to take them off. They will just pop off if you move the metal side to side.

Take your cupcake stand outside to spray paint it. I used spray paint by Krylon in Yellow. I did 3 light coats of spray paint.

Don't forget to lay something down to protect the concrete from your paint.

Once it was dry I couldn't decide if I wanted a Rhinestone Center or Fabric Flower Center.
Which one do you like better?

I decided on the Fabric Flower in Grey.

These litterally just slips on a nail. Hammer a nail in the wall and hang.

On the smallest cupcake stand (the top part that holds only one cupcake) is a long metal post. I hammered a large nail into the wall, took the nail out and shoved the 3" post into the wall until it was flat against the wall.

That is it! I love it!! My husband was even surprised how great it turned out.

I have another 40 count Wilton's Cupcake Stand in the garage. My daughter wants one in pink for her room :)

I am a crafter and I craft with many tiny items like beads, rhinestones, & pearls. Instead of taking the whole bag of rhinestones to my table, I fill up little bottle caps with the items I'm working with.

I, also, made another Bottle Cap Organizer for my bathroom. It holds the jewelry I wear most often. I like to take my jewelry off before I shower and it holds it perfect.

You could also mod podge some scrapbook paper on the cardboard, spray paint the bottle caps, then glue them onto your scrapbook paper. Once I create this I thought it would look cute having zebra paper and pink bottle caps. Maybe for Madison.
